About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: The man known to all as “Home Run” will be a welcome addition to the New York Americans this spring. So far his entire career has been with the Philadelphia Athletics club and his career average with them has been .321. Always a threat to pull a long ball, he’s led the American League in round-trippers four of the seven years that he’s been in the big leagues. He’s also led in triple baggers once (1909) and runs batted in twice (1912 and 1913). John was born in Trappe, Maryland, on March 13, 1886. He is 5’11” and 173 pounds, all tough as nails.
About the Series
The Helmar H813-4 Boston Garter series consists of 45 cards, and the design was inspired by one of the most beautiful baseball card sets of all time, the 1912 Boston Garters. The originals showed the sock garters; the Helmar versions instead show interesting scenes in the background or period detail such as a 1912-era telephone. Each card is large at 8.5' x 4.25' and gorgeous. Produced in 2014. In the fall of 2021 the series was extended with a round, 2.5' dexterity hand puzzle made to match each earlier card in the series. Each hand puzzle consitutes a game piece that includes three dice with outcomes detailed on the puzzle's backs. Two new players were introduced within the series extension, #47 (Lazzeri) and #81 (Cravath). Additionally, the last two puzzles feature John McGraw in multi-player illustrations. The back of #83 features a checklist.
